For Sale
The Big Island is a fabulous 6 yr. old TB gelding who stands a regal 17.2hh. Valerie Ashker has said that he reminds her of the type of horse that is on the British Event team. He has a steady big step and ground covering stride; he is quiet yet sensitive to the leg. "Lyle" is currently competing at Preliminary level. He is a solid, substantial, yet rangy individual that absolutely looks like he will be going down centerline at KY in 6+ years. He has 3 lovely gaits as seen on various videos on You Tube. Look under Crows Ear Farm-The Big Island and/or Laine Ashker The Big Island Woodside Horse Trials to view all 3 phases of his performance. No vices. Pure and simple this is a LOVELY horse if you plan on competing at the most serious levels. $50k

London Lady
"Sophie" is a beautiful and accomplished 2001 16.1h mare by Londonderry out of Weltmeyer/ Cavalier. Perfect for the smaller rider or anyone who just likes the ground a little closer, this mare has it all - fabulous breeding, outstanding performance capability and an in-your-pocket (in the most lady-like way) personality. A joy to ride with three lovely gaits, Sophie is athletic, beautiful and accomplished. Imported in 2007, she helped her rider earn two Dover Medals (scores over 68%) and her Bronze Medal. Sophie is schooling all the third level movements easily. Moving up should not be a problem for her, she is very athletic. Fabulous bloodlines on both sides, with the dream combination of Londonderry/Weltmeyer this is a real find. $35,000.

High Profile
"Heidi" is a stunning 2009 filly that should grow into a fabulous sport horse or broodmare. She is by Rosenthal out of His Highness/Elektron. Her mother is an Elite Eligible mare showing great promise under saddle. This filly is a carbon copy of her mother, with the same outgoing and loving personality and fantastic movement. She is sane, smart and willing and has been handled every day of her life. She loves attention and the lime light! At her Oldenburg inspection she was champion filly and judge Holly Simonsen raved about her and her mother. Fabulous performance bloodlines on both sides, this is a horse that can take you places. $14,000.

"Sherman" is a 2005 Thoroughbred gelding who came off the track this fall and is coming along well in his training to be a premier event horse. He is incredibly light on his feet and has a very soft mouth. He is lovely to be around and brave on the trails. This is a very trusting individual and Valerie Ashker believes he will mature to be one of their easiest yet competitive rides. $20k
